Post holiday traffic enforcement results

LOVES PARK - Thirty people were arrested during a two-week traffic campaign designed to remove intoxicated motorists from the road and enforce the usage of seat belts.

The campaign started on Dec. 20 and ended Saturday.

During that time, four people were arrested for driving under the influence, seven for seat belt violations, six for driving on a suspended or revoked drivers license, five for operating an uninsured vehicle, five for speeding, and one each for cell phone usage, warrant arrest and drug arrest.

Loves Park police's campaign was funded with a Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program grant administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

During the same time period, Rockford police arrested 11 impaired drivers.

The law enforcement crackdown was funded by federal traffic safety funds also administered through IDOT and is part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
